I heard Micro$oft lose money everytime they sell an Xbox, but they make their losses back by selling games and peripherals. Sounds like the kind of thing M$ would do.

                                    MS doesn't really care if they make or lose money... they just want to dominate the console market.  With all the stuff coming out this holiday season, they're almost there!

p.s.: i hate ms mainly because all the power they have. one company is in control of the world, literally. they are a huge monopoly and put a huge amount of small buisness's out of buisness and force-fed their products to people living around the world, they may make computing easier, but they are killing the minds of today's youth by doing so.... just my 2 cents

Well those of you considering buying may want to hang on a bit longer , I just spoke with a M$ Xbox sales rep and he confirmed that the drop is coming on or about Thanksgiving

                                    I don't believe it.  Those Xbox Reps don't know $hit.
The one from my local EB store told the guys that worked there that Live will include some sort of bonus, but it hasn't been decided what yet.  It may be a game, it may not be.
I had to argue with them to get them to believe me that while it may not include a full version of a game, it will include at least a stripped down version of a game (i.e. Moto GP without all the tracks...), and they didn't beleive me.  They're like, but the MS rep told us...until I finally just picked up the damn Xbox Live box that they had in the store and made them read the side of the package which said it would include a game.
I don't think MS tells these reps any inside news they haven't released publicly.
Just my oppinion.  I'm not saying it's not gonna happen, but if it does, then I think it's because the rep got the inside scoop from someone who knows, but certainly not because MS supplied him with this information.  And, as we all know, an inside scoop isn't solid enough to call reliable.
I give it 50/50.

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT DEAL! Yahooo!, now all i have to buy is the used xbox for less than $150. You know, those pre-owened xbox at ebgames.com that they sell for less than the original price.

Hey all of you web surfers. Just thought I'd take a breather from my normal EGM duties to drop you a line about something I recently caught wind of. It's so big it couldn't wait for the magazine: console price drops. That's right, folks...my Q-spies are telling me that all three hardware platforms may see price drops for this holiday season. PS2 and Xbox are said to drop to $150 and GameCube will fall to a mere $100. Yes folks, 100 bucks -- at that price, why not pick up a few? Nothing's confirmed just yet, but with Thanksgiving right around the corner, there's a good chance these price drops will happen within the next week or so. Thanks to Muk! for mailing me this info.
